Snagit by TechSmith  is a screen capture program that I use on a daily basis.  If I am writing tutorials, I use it to grab screenshots to illustrate what you need to do. If I’m busy working on genealogy, I use it to save and edit vital records, photographs and census records, to name a few. Imagine my surprise when a post on Facebook addressed this use of Snagit.

Snagit helps genealogists like you wear multiple hats, whether you’re acting the part of historian, detective, or linguist. Quickly grab search results and old photos, then save and share without disrupting your workflow. Snagit makes it easy.
